You can of course look for any definition of it, but just in case, one of many: "When a check box contains a checkmark, the function is "enabled," which means it is turned on and active. When the box is empty, the option is not active (disabled)." -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Of course for years, the most important advantage of GUI was consistent behaviour and meaning, but changing the well established meaning can be fun. Everywhere, except yast. on --> on off -> off in yast on --> well, it depends, read manual if it is really on off --> read manual too, you need to figure out the dependencies

check boxes are always enabled regardless whether they are checked or unchecked.

I didn't say a word about this. I said, that if the "parent" widget is off, thus the state of the checkbox is irrelevant, it should be disabled to notify the user about true meaning. Currently it only misinforms the user, but as I said, it may be fun, to surprise the user or force him/her to study manuals. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
